100 Dreams + WINNER!

Happy Tuesday!  I hope you all had a good start to your week! My day yesterday was… pretty lazy. Haha, after a full Sunday I wanted to take a day to relax and it was pretty nice!

First off, let’s announce the Chef Earl’s giveaway winner!

… CHRISTINA!

Send me an e-mail, Christina, and we’ll get your Chef Earl’s products out to you asap!

A couple months ago Caitlin wrote a post about writing a list of 100 dreams, inspired by a book she’s reading called 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think by Laura Vanderkam. I read the post just after my 25th birthday, and it got me thinking about dreams in life and I decided to write out my list of 100 dreams.

I finally went back to the list this weekend to add to it, and I’ve gotten up to 50. Haha 100 is a lot, especially when you don’t know what direction your life is going in. However, I do think the 50 I have now are ones that I can start working on, and slowly checking off. My only issue would be remembering to go back to the list, so it’s fresh in my mind. I guess the best thing to do is say YES to opportunities that come my way.

Some of these are pretty silly (own a hammock) while others are much more serious. Some are big and life-long goals while others are something I could honestly run out and do right now. But it’s nice to have a balance like that, especially so I can start checking them off sooner rather than later!

I split my list up into a couple sections to make it a little easier to read through. Here are my first 50:
